My pet rabbit keeps eating his plastic water bucket, what should I do? Is he gonna be ok

I lost my other dog a month ago who had the same symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with unidentified gastrointestinal bleeding. He was 13 years old, I gave him two blood transfusions, x-rays and ultrasounds and they couldn’t find anything. It is strange that my other dog now has similar symptoms. His bloodwork seems to be pretty okay, though.

Debbie Harris First go to a different vet get the records from the vet or tell the new vet where you took the other dog and he can request them. If it were me I’d get recommendations for vet. before choosing one. I would definitely not go to the same vet.

Dana Schumacher Thank you for the advice. I did plan on taking him back to that vet but they are an emergency specialized hospital only and do not take appointments. I was going to wait a a couple days to see if the medicine (sucralfate and metronidazole) helped him before going to emergency. He did get into the bathroom garbage and throw up some gross things (i wont go into gross details) prior to getting the melena.
My dog has been throwing up clear fluid but I was just near her and she threw up a thick white-yellowish consistency. I don’t know what could be going on with her? I hate to say this but I can’t afford to take her to the vet right now

I have a Shitsu mix names Ace. He’s so adorable and it breaks my heart when he doesn’t let me keep him that way. He doesn’t let me brush him AT ALL. He runs away as soon as he sees a brush and when I try to brush him he bites me and starts crying. Now, mostly around the neckline, he’s a tangled mess and when I try to cut it off with scissors he reacts the same way. I can’t afford to take him to the groomers so I don’t know what to do now…

Edie Zimmer There is no swelling, and when she is active or playing it is wide open. it is only when she sit and relaxes it closes about a third of the way.

Emma Hill I wouldn’t worry unless they’re showing signs of pain(Meowing without reason, trying to rub eyes but then yelps or jumps in pain, etc.) or signs of blindness (Running into furniture head on, getting confused if you move a piece of furniture and running into piece of furniture, etc.) And my kitties do this all the time. Usually there’s several reasons why this happens. 1) They have something in their eyes such as goo from sleeping, almost like eye boogers, 2)They are really tired and might have allergies or a cold, 3)They love you (Cats don’t like looking straight into your eyes, they like to almost squint in love, and looking from the corner of their eyes and slow blinking it shows that they love and respect you) 4)They got something stuck in their eyes. If I were you I’d first go and examine their eyes yourself. Check for eye boogers and wipe it away gently if its there. Kitty won’t like this but it has to be done. Look for something in your kitty’s eyes. If you see anything ask yourself if this is something you’d be willing to take out of a child’s eye or something you’d take the child to the doctor for. If it’s something you’d be willing to take out of a child’s eye, first go and wash your hands with soap and water, clip finger nails down so you don’t accidentally poke kitty’s eye and then gently remove the object from the eye. Read kitty’s signal to determine if your kitty is simply angry with you trying to take this out of their eye or if they are crying in pain. If kitty is simply meowing in complaint, continue. If kitty is doing anything and everything to get away from you and is screaming DO NOT continue. Take time to reconsider if you accidentally poked kitty’s eye or if the object is lodged in the eye. If it’s lodged, go to the vet. If you simply had an unsteady hand, you can try again. If you don’t feel comfortable trying again maybe ask a friend to come and try, or simply go to the vet or a pet clinic. If there is nothing in the eye, or if there was eye boogers, wait a couple days and monitor their activity. Do they show signs of sickness, are they sleeping more? Sneezing? If they don’t show any signs, have changes in urine or stools, or change in appetite, but they do show signs of a human like cold they most likely just have seasonal allergies or a little cold. Don’t fret, its not something to be worried about for now. Do a quick google search for some pet safe allergy solutions, my vet has told me that some human medications may be a cheaper but still safe alternative to pet medication. I would do your research and find out what would work best for the symptoms and size and age of your cat. If the cold worsens or more symptoms appear maybe post on here again, and or go to the vet. Just use your best judgement. If there is no sickness, and nothing in their eyes, no signs of blindness, your kitty simply loves you and you need to brush up and learn about kitty language. Cats are subtle creature and demand and need you to know how to read their body language. Cats tell us everything we need to know if we only do our homework and learn to speak cat. They tell us when they’re hungry, that they are mad, happy, sad, in love, afraid, in pain, need the litter scooped, and much more. Do your research and your kitty will be the happiest kitty alive. I hope this helps, let me know if you need help, you can contact me at: emmakat8@live.com
I am a very experienced cat owner and I’m happy to help. I hope it all works out!Best wishes,

Edie Zimmer Thank You. I have had cats for many years and was not really worried as she showed no signs of discomfort, but my husband wanted some kind of answer ( other than mine). There does not seem to be anything in the eye, I was thinking she might have gotten a small scratch from playing with her brother.
I have a pug terrier mix who is very sweet and loving. But, we have a golden retriever in our neighborhood and whenever our dog sees him whether it is through a window or out and about in the neighborhood, he attacks and goes completely insane! One time when I tried to pull him away he even tried to bite me. It is completely out of character for my dog and he is only this way around this particular dog. What is the next step I should take?
Whenever my family and I touch our 6 year old Maltese Shitzu back leg he yelps in pain? Walks with a limp and from time to time he walks on his right leg only because of it. He has no other health problems and this is very out of the blue? We went to the vet a day after it started (23rd/12th) and she thinks it’s something to do with his muscle but not 100% sure. What do you think it is and what would be the cost?
My lab is 10 and I’m pretty sure it’s arthritis but I don’t get paid till wed
If he actually eats it rather than just shreds it, it could make him sick. I think that’s what killed my childhood guinea pig – he was eating everything in sight. I think I’d switch to some heavy-duty unbreakable glass bowl instead or something that is safe and cannot be eaten.
He/she may be missing some minerals.
